The Weekend Woodshed

Drum-related news vids, nonsense for your Friday afternoon

In tribute to the late, great Tonight Show drummer Ed Shaughnessy, who died this month, here's a video of Ed playing the Tonight Show theme just last year, showing that Ed never lost his touch.

SINGING OUT OF YOUR BUTT

The BC2 bass drum monitoring system has been one of the drum world's major success stories of the last couple of years with drummers all over the globe feeling the bass through their backside thanks to the technology. One such drummer is Tesseract's Jay Postones, although when we saw the prog metal master recently he had a warning for us. "We were playing a festival recently and everything was rushed," he explained. "Somehow they accidentally connected my BC2 up to our signer's (Ashe O'Hara) mic, so I had his vocals coming through the BC2 for the whole gig! It didn't help that during the first song I shouted, 'I've got Ashe coming out of my arse!' It was the first thing I could think of to say!"
